70s dream hair

When I was a wee lass in the 1970s and the Farrah Fawcett flip became popular, I was kinda screwed. Naturally curly hair does not want to flip. Roll, maybe. Flip, never. But there was another hairstyle I had my eye on. It involved loose pieces around the forehead, a half ponytail in back, with pieces coming out underneath. So imagine my surprise that I was sporting that very style when I woke up this morning!

I'd put my hair up in a ponytail before bed and I guess some if it fell out. The style is definitely messier than what I wanted as a kid, but the right idea.

Then I took out the ponytail and was left with a style my 7-year-old self would have died for!

Kinda perfect that I'm going to the Shear Genius finale party tonight—the show hosted by none other than Charlie's Angel Jaclyn Smith.
